Nasta-Jatakam (Lost Horoscopy) [RP]

Nasta-Jatakam

More often then not, it happens that one has no record of his birth data or has doubtful data. Cases are many where even the year of birth is not recorded and the exact age remains unknown and thus a mystery to the native himself. We have horary method to prognosticate but it has its own boundaries and thus is only in many respects second to the map of Firmament cast for birth for the recorded time. To the aid of the astrologer in such a circumstance comes lost horoscopy. The ancient pundits like Varaha Mihira, Prthu Yasas, Kalyanavarman dealt with this aspect in their adorable classics to a limited extent while dealing with the unfathomable ocean of astrology. And Prthu Yasas, Kalyana Varman etc. had followed the footsteps of Varaha Mihira in many respect. The extant literature in propagation may not be complete and replete in itself particularly in regard to lost horoscopy.

Keeping this prima facie reason in mind and to help the students and the savants in their own way Sri Mukundacarya, a priestly personage of Garhwal in Uttar Pradesh wrote the present work in four chapters in miniature containing a total of 212 meaningful verses. Author gives detailed explanations and annotations in simple and lucid Sanscrit for most Slokas.
